Safe and Effective Exterior Cleaning
Soft washing uses low-pressure water and biodegradable cleaning solutions to treat organic growth on delicate surfaces. More durable materials may be suited to pressure washing, while our gutter and roof cleaning can include roof scraping, low-pressure washing and biocide treatment.
What Surfaces Can Be Soft Washed?
Soft washing can be used on various exterior surfaces where conventional high-pressure cleaning may be unsuitable. The cleaning method and treatment are selected according to the material and its condition.
Suitable surfaces can include:

Treating Moss, Algae and Lichen
Moss, algae, lichen and mould can affect the appearance of exterior surfaces. Some organic growth may also leave staining or return if the underlying spores are not treated.
Soft washing works beyond the visible surface by treating organic growth at its source. This provides a deeper, longer-lasting clean than simply washing away what can be seen.
Professional Biocide Treatments
Biocide is a specialist cleaning solution used to treat organic growth, including moss, algae, lichen and mould. Pressure Washing Andy uses biocide as part of soft washing and exterior aftercare treatments.
The treatment works at a microscopic level, targeting spores that can remain after visible growth has been removed. This helps keep exterior surfaces cleaner for longer and reduces the likelihood of rapid regrowth.
Soft Washing for Roofs
Soft washing and biocide treatments can form part of a wider roof-cleaning service. After heavier moss has been removed, a specialist treatment can be applied to target the remaining organic growth.
Our gutter and roof cleaning services can include roof scraping, low-pressure washing and biocide aftercare. The appropriate combination will depend on the roof and its condition.
